To the editor:
We are appalled at the article written about William Chambers. Not one good word was written about him and there was no respect given to a wonderful family, who has tragically lost a son!
Telling facts is one thing, but you shouldn’t have written anything about issues that have been dismissed. The facts that you wrote about in your story had nothing to do with who he was or what happened at his death.

To the editor:
May is Melanoma Awareness Month. I want you to know of this horrific disease so that my father’s story does not become yours nor your patients’. My father was diagnosed with an early stage melanoma in August 2010. In October 2011 he discovered a cluster of malignant lymph nodes.
By January 2012 the melanoma had spread to his lungs, liver, thoracic and sacral spine, and by May to the right adrenal glad and sinus cavity. Melanoma took his life one year ago this month — at age 52.

To the editor:
On behalf of Rotary and our community I would like to publicly express appreciation to Gary Lail and his carpentry class students at the Harrison County Vocational School. In a community service project Rotary has been supplying materials and Gary and his students have been building and installing ramps for folks who cannot navigate steps. The students build the ramps at school and then they are delivered to the installation site.

Did you catch it? It was a trailing sentence at the end of Chris Terrio’s acceptance speech for the “Best Writing (Adapted Screenplay)’ Oscar for the film Argo.
Mr. Terrio finishes with this…“And so I want to dedicate this to…the people all over the world in the U.S. and Canada and Iran who use creativity and intelligence to solve problems nonviolently.”

To the editor:
The Harrison County Senior Citizens’ Center has taken yet another hit. As of April 1, staff hours have been cut to the barest minimum and the length of workdays has been shortened. The Center is striving desperately to stay open and to provide services to our community. These steps have been taken in order to remain a valuable senior resource in Cynthiana and surrounding areas. Unfortunately, without additional funding, cutting services will be next.

To the editor:
Under the guidance of our Creator, this universe was created and is guided by laws - natural laws.
Consider the following: the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Apples fall from trees. Seeds are planted in the soil to grow and produce fruit. Fish swim in water. Birds fly in the sky. Man and animals were made, male and female, to multiply and increase to enjoy this world.

To the editor:
Two weeks ago Cynthiana and Harrison County lost an invaluable asset with the death of Harold Slade. Harold was an original founder of the Cynthiana-Harrison County Museum and a tireless worker for historical preservation. We, the Board of Directors of the Cynthiana-Harrison County Trust, Inc., will especially miss Harold. He was our “hanger-upper” and faithful mainstay.
